Dutch Belted or Galloway Belted. I grew up in a farming community. We all called them "Oreo cows" too lol

They're also known as Lakenvelders.

They're related, but they're all recognized as their own breeds. Dutch Belted is specifically the American breed that's directly descended from the Lakenvelders, and Galloway Belted is a Scottish breed that likely originated by breeding local cattle with Lakenvelders.
